All that you are hearing is the timer contacts closing and the
transformer kicking in. I have had the same model as you for 4 or 5
years, what you are experiencing is normal. The transformer hum
usually lessens once it settles in and is barely noticable after that,

You may be thinking of basketball.

but yeah, when it kicks in one can hear it some distance away.
